I have to admit that I have never seen a commercial for a high school hockey game. Then again, hockey doesn’t get the natural publicity that high school hoops and football does, so players need to promote themselves to get others besides their immediate family at games. Clarkston (MI) High School, about 40 minutes from Detroit, shot a pretty entertaining commercial to promote their January 26th game against rival Lake Orion. Yes, the game has been over for weeks and yes, the kid in the video is wearing a St. Louis Blues jersey (why? I don’t know), but this is very well done. Make sure you stick with it long enough to to catch the checks just before the one minute mark. Stick tap to Puck Daddy

“This is something that’s been in the back of my mind for a very, very long time,” Brooks sated. “I have a background in...

NFL running backs—especially those that are focal points for their respective teams—endure a great deal of physical contact during the course of their careers. They tend to have shorter shelf lives than other players—and must battle wear and tear—with their production beginning to decline in their late 20s, if not before.
But don’t tell that to Minnesota Vikings running...

Ohio State is in the Big Ten Championship Game today, but the program is still feeling the very recent loss of walk-on Kosta Karageorge, who was found dead last weekend. It has been an understandably emotional week for OSU, and one of Karageorge’s teammates, defensive tackle Michael Bennett, will be honoring him during today’s game in Indianapolis. Bennett has traded in his usual...

Although reports are bouncing around that New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and his boss, head coach Sean Payton haven't been seeing eye to eye lately, Ryan says there's nothing at all to the story.
"I'll tell you what, I don't admire many people outside of my own family. But Sean's at the top of the list," Ryan said, via ESPN's Mike Triplett.
"I love Sean Payton...

The NJIT Highlanders, a 2-5 team that has only been playing Division I basketball for a few seasons, have pulled off easily the most shocking win of the young college basketball season. NJIT knocked off 17th-ranked Michigan in Ann Arbor Saturday afternoon, 72-70. The Highlanders shot 59% from the field, including 11-of-17 from 3-point land. Michigan also shot well from distance,...

By now it’s not a secret that the Golden State Warriors and former head coach Mark Jackson didn’t end their marriage on a high note. Jackson, who led the team to two consecutive playoff appearances and 51 wins a season ago, was fired following the playoffs this past spring.
And despite Jackson’s success in Oakland, the Warriors have taken their performance to an entirely new...

It’s becoming more and more difficult to see how the Robert Griffin III era in Washington can continue after this season.
Griffin was benched a couple of weeks ago in favor of Colt McCoy, and while reports indicated the Redskins haven’t given up on RG3 just yet, a TMZ Sports report Saturday morning indicates the locker room might indicate otherwise.
An anonymous Redskins...

To make the observation that the Carolina Panthers are in a horrible slump would be a drastic understatement. After last week’s 31-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Panthers have dropped six-straight games. The Panthers’ last victory was 31-24 win over the Chicago Bears all the way back on Oct. 5. The team tied the...Read More

If you like being pelted with blurry pebbles of information for three or four days in a row (with the occasional blockbuster-ish boulder), prepare yourself: the Winter Meetings are coming. Every general manager in baseball will be at the Hilton Bayfront in San Diego Dec. 7–11, swapping names and tossing around enormous sums of money like playing cards.
Alongside them, about...
